I've got a stack of the 'Walking Dead' comic books next to my bed here.
— Jeffrey Dean Morgan
I love playing a villain. I think that there's something freeing about that, and it's a different kind of challenge.
I was an artist - I fancied myself an artist - I sold paintings at bars to pay my rent.
I grew up with my uncle's comic books at my grandma's house, so I've always loved my comic book reading.
I haven't watched a lot of episodes of 'The Good Wife.' I never even saw the show until I signed on, and then I watched seven episodes.
The great thing about Starz is that there's not a lot of restrictions.
Puerto Rico is beautiful. I mean, I love it. But it's hard to film here. It's hard to film an action movie here where you're outside, and you're running around all day.
I live in the woods, so really the only way you can get to me is if you send a letter.
If I could just make Westerns for the rest of my life, that's all I would do. It's my favorite movie to make. There's something about being a cowboy.
In a Western, you talk more with your eyes and your actions than you do with big speeches. I love that.
If it's football season, all things sort of stop. I'm from Seattle, so I'll watch the Seahawks and whatever other game that day is worthy.
I have a lot of respect for what I do, for this profession.
I literally will write Shonda Rhimes, the creator of 'Grey's,' an e-mail once a month or so and just say, 'Hey, I love you and thank you.' That was my moment. Because of that, I'm doing 'Magic City.'
He is scary as the butcher, but you will not meet a lovelier, more interesting guy than Danny Huston. His stories leave me spellbound. I adore him.
Showing fear is like having comedic timing because I think actors have a tendency to go way over the top with it, and that sort of loses steam for what's going on. The audience sees right through that and laughs at you, so it is something that I'm aware of.
I'm a complete skeptic when it comes to the supernatural and all that. I've never had any ghost stories or any kind of weird experiences.
Some nights, a romantic dinner can be killed by having to do dishes afterward, so it probably suits you better to go out for dinner. But I love cooking and always have.
I love what I do for a living, but the other side, that aspect of being famous or a celebrity's got zero interest to me.
If you look at my resume, I've more often than not played a very solid, decent human being.
I don't need to practice my swing. I grew up with a bat in my hands.
If you outsmart your audience, you're going to lose them.
Once I got over my initial butterflies, being in the same room and doing a scene with Jimmy Caan was great. I never backed down for one second against him. I loved it. I love those moments. Working with people like that is the greatest joy you can get as an actor.
I feel like if you shoot one scene all day long or you take two days to do a scene, that scene is going to be stale.
I have this weird allergy where metal can't touch my skin.
I love Bill Murray, but I'm not quite Bill Murray. I wish!
I love the challenge of having an audience know what you're thinking without having to tell the audience what you're thinking.
I've got a love affair with Harley-Davidson. One of my earliest photos with my dad is of him holding me as a baby on his bike.
What's special about Miami is the collision of cultures. And the white sand beaches and fantastic restaurants.
It's just as easy for me to be building a fence somewhere and scraping by on unemployment in between doing a guest star spot. I've been there.
Being an actor is a crazy way to spend one's life. It's the love of the game. Blind luck has a lot to do with it. Then you hope when you get your shot that you know what you're doing.
I was a huge fan of the original Red Dawn. America and brothers, you can't beat that in my world. I think there's nothing greater.
I usually play tough guys and stuff like that.
I've always had a problem showing fear on a film.
Within a five-month period, I got 'Weeds,' 'Supernatural,' and 'Grey's.' I think a lot of it had to do with luck.
I've got a different life. I live up on a farm; I don't have anything to do with social media.
I had no intention of being an actor, ever.
I go to Comic-Con every year, generally with some project of some sort.
I don't think I could last in anything for 10 years doing a character.
Since Chris Albrecht took over the network, I think more and more people are finding Starz. He made HBO what HBO became, and now he's doing the same thing at Starz.
My agent will say, 'Well, it's another graphic novel.' I don't care. It's better writing than anything else that's out there. The characters are much better.
There's that rule, don't work with kids and animals. There's a reason for that!
I've worked with kids that are just horrendous, and it's mostly because of their parents.
In a Western, you don't over-explain.
I love myself a truffle. I can put a truffle in anything and make it good.
I always was irritated doing network television... You're in love, you make love. That happens.
Jon Hamm - I know him. I love him.
I've called myself an actor - I won't say I've been an actor, but I've called myself an actor - since 1989. That's when I moved to Los Angeles.
Moths are okay. Actually, moths don't bother me near as much as, say, spiders do.
I think you judge your career by the scripts that are being sent your way.
'The Exoricist' and 'The Shining,' there is some horrific stuff, and it's mostly what you put in your own head, which I find amazing.
